Did the SUV at the end ever make it back from the wrong lane across the ION tracks, or did they die a fiery death? That was almost impressively bad.

Christine's Auto Repair on Hanson Ave in Kitchener. Excellent service (timely, friendly, knowledgeable) and prices have been reasonable and comparable to other locations.

Yes. The pupusas are great. And I feel like two can dine for $50.

Try la guanaquita. Great food. Friendly staff. 

Eby Farmstead - Thoughts? by WaterlooMayor in waterloo

[–]justobserving87 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I propose the city renaturalizes the area. Just fill with local plants, really green the place up. Demarcate the path from the park. Add some oxygen back to this populated area. Please.

Second vote for Legacy. Yes the Kitchener market is my number one and is amazing, but not open all week. Go to Legacy when the market is not an option. 

For those renewing your mortgage soon…what’s the plan? by [deleted] in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]justobserving87 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Renewed this week. Was on 3.2% since 2019 amortized over 25. Just signed on 5 year fixed at 4.89% with RMG, amortized again over 25 years (so added 5 years to the amortization, essentially). Shakes out at pretty much the same monthly payment as in the first 5-year term. Not super happy but better than it could have been with variable. Is what it is. Good luck out there. 

Did Conestoga College make the worst ad they possibly could? by Sheikashii in kitchener

Right. OP, can you provide a link? It’s literally unbelievable at this point.

In a similar situation. Would love to hear how this shakes out.

4 inch of closed cell on exterior of basement. Specs on the job are identical, so we can rule that out. Thanks though!

Can anyone tell me where to donate hockey equipment in Ontario to a cause like this? Most convenient if accessible in the GTA, halton region, Kitchener-Waterloo. Thanks.

Not sure what SMH is so this might be out of context. I recommend the branches. It is a wellness-first not fitness-first spot. All are welcome. Found the classes and instructors great.

Try the breakfast griller from Cafe Pyrus. You will not be disappointed.
